Why AANPCP certification?

The purpose of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners National Certification Program is to provide a valid and reliable program for entry-level nurse practitioners to recognize their education, knowledge, and professional expertise. The Academy Certification Program provides a process for validation of an advanced practice nurse's qualifications and knowledge for practice as a nurse practitioner.

The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Program National Certification Examinations are entry-level, competency-based examinations for nurse practitioners reflective of nurse practitioner knowledge and expertise for each of three specialties; adult, gerontologic, and family nurse practitioner.

Nurse practitioners certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Program may become recertified every five years by sitting for the appropriate examination or by meeting the clinical practice and continuing education requirements established for recertification.

AANPCP currently charges a nominal fee of $30 for each request for verification of national certification.
An Emergency Verification is available for a fee of $45. There is NO charge for verifications provided to State Boards of Nursing.
